With wicker seats and meant to be hauled from port-to-port on your yacht, I guess it qualifies:

Fiat Jolly (1958) Value: $30,000 - $60,000

The Jolly, a modified Fiat 500 or 600, was intended for wealthy yacht owners who wanted a car
they could carry from resort to resort on their boat. The seats were made of wicker and an
optional fringe top protected occupants from sunburn. Not surprisingly, perhaps, it didn't
sell well. That's why fewer than 100 exist today, a small supply that increases their value.

Just one of these Fiats in prestine condition - in coral color with wicker seats and fringe top at Greenwich Connecticut's Lexus Dealer. - http://www.lexusofgreenwich.com/
